Environmental Futures in Australia

When it comes to environmental crisis, Australia increasingly exhibits key and unfortunate characteristics. We are losing more biodiversity and natural ecosystems than any other developed nation, and our governing institutions have consistently failed to deliver meaningful action on these issues (Bekessy and Wintle 2022). Australia’s compounding environmental crises in turn have direct implications for the stability and prosperity of our society, especially for future generations, Indigenous people, and rural communities more broadly – as revealed in recent bushfires, floods, and droughts.
